A bit of feedback on clothing in extreme weather. Yesterday I had the misfortune of riding in torrential rain at motorway speeds for an extended period. Loch Carron to Manchester. 411 miles/8 hours including 3 stops. After 7.5 hours my newish Halvarssons gloves finally let in a bit of water on my left pinky area. My 5 year old TCX S Speed Goretex boots lasted a similar time before letting in a bit resulting both big toes being wet. My 3 year old BMW Streetguard jacket and trousers that I recently treated in Grangers never let in a drop. Totally dry arms, legs, torso, back and neck, even with the storm collar removed. A vote from me for quality riding gear after years of budget stuff.
 
Interesting....I only buy BMW gloves as the only ones that haven’t leaked. My summer gloves are especially impressive. Ridden through torrential mountain rain in the Picos for an extended period and dry at the end as were my feet in BMW Gravel boots. Klim latitude gear also did the job.
